Chapter 491: Their King Finally Came! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky was still hazy, but it was dazzling bright outside of Stellarsky City. Deafening booms echoed over the field. Many wild animals in the mountains and fields were startled and had fled.
There were nearly 10,000 Soul Travel Realm Experts among the million troops. Though there were not many peak-stage Soul Travel Realm Experts, the power was still formidable when so many Soul Travel Realm Experts attacked continuously.
The shield of the Stellarsky City was made by a Heaven Monarch Realm Martial Expert in the Azure Dragon Empire many years ago. It was the last protective screen left to the Ling Clansmen.
Last time, when the Demon Empress attacked the city, Ling Xue didn"t turn on the shield. As she knew that even if it was on, it would be broken by one palm strike of the Demon Empress.
She turned on the shield this time, but she didn"t expect that it could block the one million troops and Jiang Yi. She just wanted to buy some time for the Martial Arts Hall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiang Yi didn"t say a word. He asked the soldiers to continue their attack. He had the Thearch Palace and understood how this shield worked. It would break when the energy had run out. Therefore, even though the shield was still shining with brilliant light after the one-hour attack, Jiang Yi didn"t take it seriously.
"Grandma, you and the Yazi Beast take turns to attack. Jiang Rentu, ask the Soul Travel Realm Experts to attack in batches!"
Jiang Yi landed on the ground and asked General Lu to set up a camp and rested inside. The Yazi Beast bellowed; the single horn on its head lit up and turned into a stream of light, hitting onto the shield. At that moment, the shield shone gloriously, but it was not shaken at all. Its defense was powerful.
Grandma Silver Flower flashed by and entered a tent that was just pitched—like Jiang Yi. She and Jiang Yi were hidden, which worried the opponents more. They didn"t know what the two were doing, and they were afraid that the two were scheming for something.
Just like this…
Nearly 10,000 Soul Travel Realm Experts were divided into two groups. The Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower also took turns to attack. There were always thousands of attacks smashing onto the shield around the Stellarsky City. Although the shield appeared alright now, its energy was definitely drained continuously. It would probably break in half a month.
Jiang Yi was very relaxed and never showed up after entering the camp. He asked the soldiers to light a fire to cook. The troops ate well, slept well, and rested well. Fortunately, Qian Gui was in charge of the provisions. Otherwise, the million troops would starve to death as the battle was put off.
On the other contrary, the morale was constantly lowering. The soldiers in the city could hardly eat or sleep well.
If someone had a glowing shield above their head—which could shatter anytime—and had an enemy that might march in anytime, how could that person eat well and sleep well?
The relief troops of the Martial Arts Hall were still nowhere to be found, which slowly sank the spirits of Ling Xue. Xiao Longw.a.n.g and Sha Di took turns in guarding the city. Their hearts became colder and colder upon seeing the dimming shield.
One day, five days… ten days!
The shield had gone semi-transparent. Xiao Longw.a.n.g, Sha Di, and Ling Xue were up on the city wall. The shield was about to break, and the decisive fight was about to begin.
Regardless of the outcome, everyone would try their best.
Burst!
The Yazi Beast placed the last straw; the shield around the Stellarsky City finally ran out of energy and shattered. Jiang Rentu was ready a long time ago. He burst out, shouting, "Kill!"
"Yazi Beast, don"t be insolent! If you dare, come here and fight with me!"
Xiao Longw.a.n.g shouted and shot to the sky like a flood dragon. He looked at the Yazi Beast with provocation. It had to be said that Xiao Longw.a.n.g was clever. If he challenged the Yazi Beast and the Yazi Beast agreed, Jiang Yi might not be after him temporarily.
Roar! Roar!
The Yazi Beast was almost killed by Xiao Longw.a.n.g back then. With Jiang Yi on its back, it feared nothing. It swiftly let out two howls to the sky and shot towards the sky.
"Hehe!"
Sha Di was no fool. Pointing the golden spear in his hand, he fixed his eyes on Grandma Silver Flower and shouted coldly, "Crazy woman, do you dare to go up and fight it out to see who the real man was!"
Actually, Sha Di"s sentence didn"t make sense. Even a blind man knew who the man and who the woman were between two. However, Grandma Silver Flower didn"t pay attention to these details. She sneered and said, "Sha Di, this day will be the day of your death!"
Swish!
Sha Di and Grandma Silver Flower flew to the sky 33 kilometers above the ground. The battle began. Jiang Rentu waved his big hand; nearly 10,000 Soul Travel Realm Experts took the lead and rushed to the city. The troops behind them followed up like swarms of locust. Soon, the empty s.p.a.ce outside Stellarsky City was filled.
"Kill—!"
Ling Xue"s eyes became cold; she waved her slender hand. The soldiers on the city wall sprinted forward. Two streams of metals soon collided with each other and mixed together. The field outside Stellarsky City was turned into a slaughterhouse.
The great war had begun, but Jiang Yi remained in his camp. It was really strange.
Clang! Clang! Clang! "Ha!"
"Ah!" Bang! Bang! Bang!
The collisions of weapons, shouts of the martial artists, screams, and explosions broke out one after another. On in one hour, thousands of men died under the city wall. The Yazi Beast was carried away with the fight with Xiao Longw.a.n.g; Grandma Silver Flower and Sha Di were well-matched. It seemed like the fight was getting complicated.
Jiang Yi still never showed up. Jiang Rentu, General Lu, and Zhan Yiming didn"t know what he was thinking and didn"t dare to ask.
The morale was roaring on one side and low on the other. However, Jiang Yi"s Soul Travel Realm Experts outnumbered the opponents", and so no party was winning. Both were suffering from tragic losses. Similarly, Xiao Longw.a.n.g and Sha Di in the sky dared not to use all their strength because of Jiang Yi, and so the fights in the sky were also too close to call.
This battle went on and on—from morning, to afternoon, and to nightfall. Without Jiang Yi"s order to retreat, Jiang Rentu and the group had to clench their teeth and continued the bitter fight.
The night was approaching slowly!
The Stellarsky City was in the north; the summer had yet to come now. Thus, the night was a bit chilly, but the two sides were engrossed in the battle. No one felt cold. Instead, they felt as if their blood was boiling.
Shh-shh-shh!
In a camp at the back of the troops, a person finally showed up.
For the entire day, Jiang Yi had been using his divine senses to navigate the situation inside Stellarsky City. Right now, he was certain that there wasn"t any special trap before he finally came out.
Although he insisted on coming to Stellarsky City for the decisive fight, he was not stupid. Before investigating the situation thoroughly, he wouldn"t reveal himself recklessly. Furthermore, he knew that Xiao Longw.a.n.g and Sha Di dared not to kill the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower if he didn"t show up.
He seldom risked his life, as when he died, one million soldiers had to die as well.
Shh-shh-shh!
He gripped the long and narrow Fire Dragon Sword which was sparkling with a red light. Two fire dragons swam on the sword quietly. His fair face was sometimes clear and sometimes dim under the red light. His blood red hair was wafting even if it was windless.
He came out from the back of the troops. He was neither fast nor slow as if he was strolling in the countryside. He didn"t release any aura and was just walking leisurely to the front. The soldiers automatically made way for him to pa.s.s. The soldiers at his two sides had their eyes brighten up like stars.
Ss, ss—!
On the city wall, Ling Xue, General Long, and the group all took in a cold deep breath. Many soldiers saw the army split up automatically, and a red-haired young man came out quietly. They all looked terrified as if this young man was not a person but an invincible fiend!
"Kill!"
Many soldiers fighting in the vanguard were exhausted from the day-long battle; many had startling scars on their bodies. However, all burst out into shouting at this moment. They were like fierce tigers coming out of a mountain. Their fighting spirits were unstoppable, and their roars shook the sky.
Their King finally came!
